Hi, I’m Adrienne!

​

I’m a movement teacher, performer, and a holistic health coach. I specialise on women's wellness, with over a decade of experience.

I recently became a mother, which opened my eyes to the needs of the delicate postpartum period. My current mission is to help women rediscover their amazing bodies after giving birth. To build confidence and strength one step (or stretch) at a time. 

​

​What I Believe

​

My path has been anything but linear. Over the years, I’ve been simultanously developing as a teacher, dancer, and coach. Some would say “all over the place”—but every twist and turn shaped who I am, and the work I do today. I see life through a holistic lens - nothing is separate from the whole.

Therefore it makes sense, that my approach to coaching is holistic too, blending three pillars of wellness:

​

• Movement: Reconnecting with the body through intentional movement.

• Nutrition: Fueling the body with nourishment that feels good.

• Sisterhood: Because womanhood isn’t meant to be a solo journey.​
   

My own journey of physical and emotional healing became the foundation for my approach.

Movement has always been my constant, the pillar to my sanity. Over the decades I acquired education in dance, pilates, yoga, and flow arts.

Along my journey, I battled some major health challenges, including endometriosis, asthma, and IBS. Doctors treated the symptoms, but I wanted more—I wanted healing.

That determination led me to dive deep into holistic health through nutrition, and the connection between body and mind.  
Lastly but perhaps most importantly- when it came to my spiritual wellbeing, I have faced some challenges as a feminine being in a hyper masculine world. The importance of sisterhood was revealed to me years ago, when I was working on a farm in a group of women. For 2 months it was just us girls - sharing stories, wisdom, laughter and support. It was the first time I truly felt the magic of a safe, all-female space—a space where we could be vulnerable, strong, and unapologetically ourselves. This experience launched my interest in polarity work, and incorporating practices to help nurture my feminine essence. I try to bring the spirit of sisterhood to all work I do - be that at the women's-only health club BBB Boutique Rotterdam, where I offer my services as a coach, or in my private practice.​​​​​

Why Postnatal Coaching?

​

I recently became a mom—and it opened my eyes. The postpartum period is full of change: new routines, new hormones, and what feels like a completely new body. It's fantastic that the Netherlands has so much support during pregnancy and birth prep. But after the baby is born, and the kraamzorg leaves, many mothers are left navigating this transition alone. That’s when the idea for Herstel & Groei was born. I wanted to create a space for moms to heal, grow, and move—sometimes with their babies right there beside them. It’s not just about fitness; it’s about a space where new moms can connect.

If my vision and offers resonates with you,
it would be my highest excitement to embark on your unique wellness journey together!​​​​​
